Chapter 763 Meeting Shi Changsheng Again, Tang Qianluo Fainting From Anger (2)
"Tell me where Xiaoyu"er is first!" Zhou Shu said.
"She"s fine. She won"t die," Shi Changsheng said. "But you can"t see her now."
"Why?" Zhou Shu frowned. "You want to use Xiaoyu"er to threaten me?"
"Bulls.h.i.t!" Shi Changsheng cursed impolitely. "Do I need to threaten you? You owe me!
"You"re not blind, kid. Can"t tell that there"s something abnormal with that girl?"
"I know. So what?" Zhou Shu frowned.
"I said you couldn"t see her because of her own issue," Shi Changsheng said. "When that b.a.s.t.a.r.d injured her, he triggered the stress mechanism in her body. She"s currently in a special state. She"s fused with her grotto-heaven and is not in this world."
Zhou Shu frowned. He didn"t quite understand. He still didn"t know enough about the secrets of the Grotto-Heaven realm.
"Is her life in danger?" Zhou Shu asked grimly.
"She isn"t," Shi Changsheng said casually. "But I"m afraid only she knows the details."
Zhou Shu was silent for a moment. Since Shi Changsheng had already said so much, it was useless no matter how worried he was. He could only hope that Xiaoyu"er could survive this crisis herself.
"Hmph! Tang Wu!" Zhou Shu snorted coldly. The main culprit behind this was Tang Wu. If he hadn"t injured Xiaoyu"er, she wouldn"t have fallen into this situation.
Swish!
Zhou Shu raised his hand, and a pile of heaven and earth treasures fell from the sky.
"Old Shi, thank you for saving Xiaoyu"er this time. Here are some treasures for you."
Shi Changsheng"s eyes lit up. The Longevity Sword flew around and swallowed the heaven and earth treasures on the ground.
"You have some conscience, young fellow." Shi Changsheng rubbed his belly with a satisfied expression.
"When people respect me, I respect them ten times over. It"s my style to repay kindness with kindness," Zhou Shu said.
Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes at him. "Then, what do you say about causing trouble in the Demon Realm in my name?"
"Old Shi, you don"t have to take it to heart. It"s what I should do," Zhou Shu said seriously.
Shi Changsheng: "…"
"You"re even more shameless than I was back then!" Shi Changsheng said disdainfully.
"You flatter me," Zhou Shu said shamelessly. "Old Shi, what are your plans next? Are you going to continue to run away?"
"What do you mean I"m running away?" Shi Changsheng said. "I"m free and unfettered. I can go wherever I want. Do I need to report to you?"
"Of course not." Zhou Shu smiled. "I was just thinking that if you"re free, Old Shi, I have some questions to ask you. As for forging materials, I just made a small fortune in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. I don"t lack them…"
"You stole from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?" Shi Changsheng"s eyes lit up.
"How is it stealing?" Zhou Shu shook his head. "I took it openly. Their storehouse wasn"t locked."
Shi Changsheng was silent for a long time before his eyes widened. He gave a thumbs up. "You"re ruthless!
"You"re probably the first person since ancient times to rob the storehouse of a grotto-heaven. The people of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven are probably chasing after you like crazy…"
"Why would they chase after me? They don"t know that I did it. Old Shi, you won"t leak the secret, right?" Zhou Shu said calmly.
Shi Changsheng: "You…"
He was speechless and could only give a thumbs up in admiration.
Shi Changsheng was extremely envious of Zhou Shu"s divine ability to transform into another person. Back then, when he was at his peak, he was more than a hundred times stronger than Zhou Shu, but he couldn"t do this.
Although this divine ability wasn"t helpful in battle, if used well, it had endless uses.
"Old Shi, how is it? Come with me. One question, one kilogram of forging materials," Zhou Shu bewitched.
"No!" Shi Changsheng said angrily. "Do you think the secrets I know are so cheap?
"Unless it"s fifty kilograms of forging materials per question, don"t even think about hearing any useful information from me!"
"Five kilograms!" Zhou Shu said.
"Fifty!"
"Five!"
"Fifteen!"
"Five!"
Zhou Shu and Shi Changsheng bargained back and forth. In the end, they each took a step back and agreed on a price of ten kilograms of forging materials. Then Shi Changsheng transformed back into the Longevity Sword and attached himself to Zhou Shu"s back.
With an explosion, Zhou Shu rose into the air.
…
On the Endless Sea, dozens of powerful auras filled the air.
There were Tang Qianluo, Ji Lutian, Zheng Chengan, and dozens of other Grotto-Heaven experts.
These people were divided into three groups.
Tang Qianluo was on the same side as the Tang family disciples. Ji Lutian and Zheng Chengan were on the same side. And there were also a few experts with powerful auras that were not inferior to that of Tang Qianluo and the others forming the third group.
It was precisely because of the appearance of this third group that Tang Qianluo, Ji Lutian, and Zheng Chengan stopped fighting.
Otherwise, the winner of this life-and-death battle would have already been decided.
"You want to help Zheng Chengan and become enemies with my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?" Tang Qianluo was furious. He stared coldly at the third-party expert who appeared behind him.
"Brother Tang, no one wants to be enemies with the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven," the middle-aged man who looked extremely elegant said. "Our grotto-heavens are united. Now, we should work together. Why ruin our harmony over a small matter?
"If you fight to the death, you will only make the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm ridicule us," the middle-aged man persuaded sincerely. "Brother Tang, you"re a magnanimous person. If Brother Zheng has offended you in any way, please give me some face. How about that?"
"A small matter?" Tang Qianluo said coldly. "Come and talk to me again when the storehouse of your Xuande Grotto-Heaven has been robbed!
"Surnamed Zhang, this matter has nothing to do with your Xuande Grotto-Heaven. Don"t be a busybody!"
The man surnamed Zhang from the Xuande Grotto-Heaven was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Zheng Chengan, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Tang Qianluo, don"t frame me." Zheng Chengan snorted. "I don"t even know where the entrance to your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven"s storehouse is. Don"t even think about maligning me."
Zheng Chengan stood upright. If he hadn"t stolen something, then he hadn"t stolen it. What he had robbed was only Tang Qianluo"s secret vault, not the storehouse of the Xuling Grotto-Heaven!
Tang Qianluo was too angry to play such word games.
From the beginning to the end, he had never considered the Tang family"s storehouse separately from his secret vault.
In any case, in his heart, Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian had robbed these two places.
"You still want to quibble?" Tang Qianluo was furious. "I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?"
"Tang Qianluo, do you dare to swear on the Great Dao that you saw me, Zheng Chengan, rob the storehouse of your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven with your own eyes?" Zheng Chengan shouted angrily, his eyes wide.
Zheng Chengan spoke confidently and righteously.
The man surnamed Zhang from the Xuande Grotto-Heaven looked at Tang Qianluo again. The scale in his heart tilted toward Zheng Chengan.
From Zheng Chengan"s expression, it seemed like he really didn"t do it.
"I—" Tang Qianluo was a little hesitant. He really hadn"t seen Zheng Chengan rob his secret vault with his own eyes. At the time, he had seen himself, Tang Wu, and Tang Shiyi!
No one would believe him.
He was still a little confused. How did Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian disguise themselves as him? Also, where did the third person come from?
"You don"t dare to swear, do you?" Zheng Chengan sneered. "Tang Qianluo, if you want to frame people, then be more professional!
"Do you really think everyone in the world is blind? Brother Zhang and the others have sharp eyes. How can they not see through your schemes?
"If your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven wants to become the number one grotto-heaven, then use your true ability. Don"t use these shoddy methods. They"re disgusting."
Zheng Chengan looked at him with disdain.
Tang Qianluo was so angry that his face turned red. "You… you…"
Gruu—
Tang Qianluo spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward.
"Family Head!" the Tang family disciples exclaimed and rushed forward.
